And the Smithsonian’s National Zoo expects the panda craze to last for several more years.“Giant pandas are worthy ambassadors. They have much longer tenures (任期) than each of the Chinese ambassadors here, and they have many more fans than us,” Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang said at the reception. “Year by year, giant pandas have become an icon of mutual 48 and friendship between the two peoples. In particular, the arrival of Xiao Qi Ji (Little Miracle) two years ago has brought us a happy surprise.”He was referring to the cub’s birth in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, 49 with the deterioration of China-US bilateral relations to its lowest point in four decades.The ambassador noted that the number of giant pandas in the wild in China has increased from several hundred 50 years ago to more than 1,800, which meant the species is no longer “endangered”, thanks to unrelenting (持续的) efforts at protection and conservation.“But sadly, ‘panda-huggers’ are endangered. Now they need protection and conservation,” he said, in 50 to China-US relations, with hawkish (强硬的) US politicians increasingly seeking to “outcompete” China by 51 the country as a challenger or even a threat to the US.“China’s approach to panda diplomacy has 52 ” to “serve more of ... a tool to project soft power”, New York Times said in a recent article.In addition to Xiao Qi Ji, another panda – Kung Fu Panda – was also made in the US. “I still remember a/an 53 from it: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that is why it’s called present!” Qin declared. “At present, we get together to cherish the wonderful gift of the panda. We need more pandas, and we also need more ‘panda-huggers’.”“I’m absolutely 54 to 50 more years of giant panda care and success and celebration for all of our visitors, so I look forward to working with our colleagues in China, as we are 55 about the future for our giant panda program,” said Brandie Smith, director of the National Zoo.III. Reading Comprehension (45分)Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Technology is connecting us in ways never seen before in human history. How will that change our societies, our relationships, ourselves?That’s the question that 56 Michael Wesch. The last time communicationstechnology had such a wide-ranging impact was 500 years ago with the invention of the printing press. Being able to print texts instead of writing them by hand 57 the world. It changed the way people could communicate with each other. Suddenly, multiple copies of books could be made quickly and easily. As more books became 58 , ideas spread much more rapidly. But what will be the impact of digital technology, the most powerful 59 tool we have ever seen?Michael Wesch argues that communication is 60 to our relationships, so it follows that a change in the way we communicate will change those relationships. Wesch, a university professor, explores digital communication in his work. 61 , Wesch and his students look at social networking and other interactive Internet tools like YouTube. When people create and share personal videos on YouTube, anyone anywhere can watch them. Wesch says that this 62 some people feeling a sort of deep connection with the entire world. But it’s not a 63 relationship; it’s not the same as the connection you feel with a member of your family. In fact, as Wesch says, it’s a relationship without any real 64 that you can turn off at any moment. So does it make sense to talk about a YouTube “community”?Wesch himself 65 the impact of digital media when he created and posted his own short video on YouTube. It attracted immediate attention and has been viewed millions of times. In his video, he tells us that webpages get 100 billion hits a day and that a new blog is started every half second. He asks us to 66 the power of this technology and how we use it. What could we do with it? What is its potential?67 the university, in the real world, Wesch believes it’s crucial for people to be able to use the new environment of digital media for the greatest possible impact. “It’s the 68 of our times that we are now so connected we fail to see it. I want to believe that technology can help us see relationships and global connections in 69 new ways. It’s pretty amazing that I have this little box sitting on my desk through which I can talk to any one of a billion people. And yet do any of us really 70 all the potential that’s there?56. A. awakens B. interests C. dominates D. terrifies57. A. separated B. oppressed C. overestimated D. transformed58. A. outdated B. original C. cheap D. available59. A. connecting B. designing C. printing D. copying60. A. opposed B. attached C. possible D. fundamental61. A. In addition B. In particular C. In summary D. In detail62.

A. experienced B. avoided C. underrated D. disliked66. A. turn to B. think about C. make up D. set aside67. A. Outside B. Opposite C. Against D. Inside68. A. debate B. end C. tragedy D. achievement69. A. pointless B. positive C. personal D. peaceful70. A. damage B. affect C. use D. forgetSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE; I find reflective isolation in it. I have seven children, so our house is a scene of lively confusion. For a long time, I guarded this place of peace and quiet. When the children followed me into the garden, I would hand out chores. “Here: you weed the beans, you water the onions." Soon they would be hot or their backs would hurt from bending over, and they would leave me to myself.Then one day, I was trying to prepare the soil, and I honestly wasn't enjoying my time of peace and loneliness. My 13-year-old son, Josiah, picked up a spare spade and began helping. Working as a team, we had the pea patch dug up and fertilized in no time at all. I thanked Josiah, realizing that l had enjoyed his company.The same thing happened with picking up rocks and planting the seeds --one or two of the children would appear to watch and then participate. Each time, I would feel surprised to find the work was lighter for their help, and their laughter made time pass faster. So I stopped resenting their company and instead I began to share my gardening secrets. As spring became summer and the real work began, I expected the children to disappear, but no, there they were, watering, pulling weeds and checking for insects.One day I slipped out by myself to the garden, feeling a little bit guilty. I had a suspicion that the sugar snap peas were ripe, and I wanted a taste. As I walked along the row, a little voice piped up behind me. "What are you eating, Mama?"Abby's big blue eyes sparkled as I showed her how to pull the strings off and pop(剥出)the peas into her mouth. She just loved how tasty they were. Then my sweet seven-year-old girl put me to shame. "Mama, I've got to pick a bunch. Won't the others love them? I can't wait to share."I realized how selfish I had been. I'd tried to keep the joys of gardening to myself, and here was a child who couldn't wait to share with her brothers and sisters. I held back tears and said, "Sure, honey, let's pick some and I'll show you how to prepare them. We'll make the most wonderful supper."71. Why did the writer ask her children to do chores whenever they were in the garden?A. She didn’t want to do all the work on her own.B. She intended to show the hard labor of gardening.C. She didn’t want them to get hurt or get too tired.D. She was determined to keep the garden to herself.72. What were the children like?①loud ②lively ③guilty ④loving ⑤strongA. ①②③④B. ①②④C. ①②③D. ④⑤73. The underlined word “resent” probably means ________.A. dislikeB. expectC. keepD. sacrifice74. What did the writer try to tell the readers with this story?A. The best way to communicate with children is by working together.B. The golden rule of gardening is that many hands make light work.C. Everything feels better when shared with your family or your friend.D. Parents should spend as much time with their children as possible.(B)75.Your friend Jenny plans to go to Paris for travelling and she is a big fan of the famous moviedirector Woody Allen. Which place would you recommend that she visit?A. 171 Boulevard du MontparnasseB. 41 Rue Monsieur Le PrinceC. 8 Boulevard de MenilmontantD. 37 Rue de la Bucherie76.Earnest Hemingway was a regular to the following places except________.A. Pere Lachaise CemeteryB. Les Deux MagotsC. Bar HemingwayD. Polidor77.Which of the following phrases best completes the title?A. Literature LoversB. Experienced TouristsC. Cuisine EnthusiastsD. History Researchers(C)A lone humpback whale travelled more than 9,800 kilometers from breeding areas in Brazil to those in Madagascar, setting a record for the longest mammal migration ever documented.Humpback whales are known to have some of the longest migration distances of all mammals, and this huge journey is about 400 kilometers farther than the previous humpback record. The finding was made by Peter Stevick, a biologist at the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine.The whale’s journey was unusual not only for its length, but also because it travelled across about 90 degrees of longitude(经度) from west to east. Typically, humpbacks move in a north-south direction between cold feeding areas and warm breeding grounds.The whale, a female, was first spotted off the coast of Brazil, where researches photographed its tail fluke (尾鳍) and took skin samples to determine the animal’s sex. Two years later, a tourist on a whale-watching boat snapped a photo of the humpback near Madagascar.To match the two sightings, Stevick’s team used an extensive international catalogue of photographs of the undersides of tail flukes, which have distinctive markings. Researchers routinely compare the markings in each new photograph to those in the archive (档案馆).The scientists then estimated the animal’s shortest possible route: an arc skirting the southern tip of South Africa and heading north-east towards Madagascar. The minimum distance is 9,800 kilometers, says Stevick, but this is likely to be an underestimate, because the whale probably took a roundabout way to feed on krill(磷虾) in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica before reaching its destination.Most humpback-whale researchers focus on their efforts on the Northern Hemisphere because the Southern Ocean near the Antarctica is a tough environment and it is hard to get to, explaining Rochelle Constantine, who studies the ecology of humpback whales at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. But, for whales, oceans in the Southern Hemisphere are wider and easier to travel across, says Constantine. Scientists will probably observe more long-distance migrations in the Southern Hemisphere as satellite tracking becomes increasingly common, she adds.Daniel Palacios, an oceanographer at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, says that record-breaking journey could indicate that migration patterns are shifting as populations begin to recover from near-extinction and the population increases. But the reasons why the whale did not follow the usual migration routes remain a mystery. She could have been exploring new habitats, or simply have lost her way. ‘We generally think of humpback whales as very well studied, but then they surprise us with things like t his,’ Palacios says. ‘Undoubtedly there are a lot of things we still don’t know about whale migration.’78.In what way was the whale’s journey considered unusual?A. It covered a long distance from west to east.B. A female whale rather than a male one completed it.C. The whale moved from its breeding ground to its feeding area.D. No one had ever spotted the whale other than at its destination.79.Why did the researchers compare the markings on tail flukes?A. There is a vast collection of such markings.B. The markings there last by far the longest.C. No two whales share the same markings.D. The markings are easiest to photograph.80.What can be inferred from the passage?A. More evidence should have been provided that the whale had ever arrived at Madagascar.B. South Hemisphere can provide more information about humpback whales’ migration.C. The whale’s actual route might well have been shorter than the scientists had estimated.D. North Hemisphere’s environment is becoming tougher for w hales to survive.81.What is the passage mainly about?A. A female whale was spotted twice in the Southern Ocean.B. Research on whales is a breakthrough.C. Whales’ migration routes vary with the climate change.D. A whale surprises researchers with her journey.Section CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two sentences than you need.Globalization has significantly influenced food consumption in most parts of the world, but one country whose food has a long history of being globalized is Italy. If you walk down any main street in any major world city, you will find at least one Italian restaurant. Furthermore, Italy has seen changes in its own eating habits due to influence from other countries.Food has always been very important for Italian families. Italians take a lot of pride in the making and preparation of food. Until recently, pasta ------ a basic Italian food ------ would havebeen made by people in their local area. Families would also have made the sauces to eat with the pasta at home. ___82___Nowadays, however, Italian eating habits appear to have changed. people no longer spend so much time preparing their meals. Indeed, frozen or takeaway Italian meals have become very popular in Italy. Furthermore, dried pasta is now mass-produced and sold relatively cheaply in the supermarkets. Ready-made pasta sauces are also increasingly popular ------ sales have doubled in the last five years, according to one manufacturer. ___83___ This trend is more common in urban areas such as Rome, Milan and Venice, although many smaller towns are also experiencing similar changes.These changes have both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, globalization has increased the range of food available in Italy. Italians now have much more choice in terms of what they eat. They also do not need to spend so long preparing and making food, unless of course they want to. In contrast, it can be argued that large restaurant chains are becoming increasingly powerful, resulting in the destruction of local and national specialties. ___84______85___ Convenience foods have replaced many of the traditional home-cooked meals, and the availability of foreign fruits has greatly increased. While this extra choice is welcomed by some, others fear the damage it may cause to Italian traditions.IV.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.What makes this year’s World Cup special?This year’s FIFA World Cup kicked off in Qatar on Nov 20.

To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.Why is it important to protect the dialect culture According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language faithfully shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area, he said.Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns of the disappearing of dialeets, “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Meanwhile, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said.So how did China make this big library “A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, chief expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people lean dialects.4.How does the author start the textA. By quoting sayings.B. By sharing a story.C. By stating his own experiences.D. By asking a question. 5.What’s the third paragraph mainly aboutA. The development of Mandarin.B. Why to protect dialects.C. How to develop speaking skills.D. The disappearing of dialects. 6.What’s Zhang Hongming’s attitude to Wu dialectA. Worried.B. Positive.C. Indifferent.D. Unelear.7.What can we know about the project according to the textA. It has entered into the third part.B. Over 5.6 millions videos are collected in the project.C. It looks at how people talk in 1,712 places.D. Harold Palme is the chief expert on the project.Do you ever get restless if you haven’t checked your phone for a few minutes If so, you’re not alone. Studies reveal that people these days check their phones once every four minutes on average! Some of this usage may be related to work. However, much of it isbecause many apps — particularly social media apps —use “clever techniques” to keep us coming back for more.One of such techniques is to push notificatio ns. You’re getting on with your work or something else when — ping! — a notification pops up on your screen, informing you that a friend has posted something new or commented on your post. It may seem like a small interruption, but it often is enough to break your concentration and make you go back to your phone again. Another method is to make a game of the in-app experience by setting up a competitive goal element. Some apps, for example, uses streaks (连续纪录), which count the number of days you have used the app. If you keep a streak going, you might get a medal or some other rewards. Therefore, keeping one’s streak alive becomes a major reason to return to the app again and again.Once you’ve opened an app, its goal is now to get you continue using it. Messaging apps use a simple but effective trick to keep you engaged even when you’re not writing anything. Have you ever noticed that in some apps, three dots (…) appear to let you know your friend is typing a reply This trick is designed specifically to create your expectation or curiosity. You wonder what your friend is going to say. Well, you’ll have to keep waiting and see. While using social media apps is certainly fun, becoming addicteddefinitely isn’t. Now that you know some tricks used by these apps’ designers, you’ll be better equipped to reduce their influence and keep a healthier relationship with your phone.8.What does the underlined word “reveal” in Paragraph 1 probably meanA. Encourage.B. Predict.C. Prevent.D. Show.9.What is special about an app using streaksA. Ongoing pings will inform you of new posts.B. Competitive games will greatly discourage you.C. Everyday use of the app might earn you a medal.D. Appearance of three dots might disturb your typing. 10.There are “clever techniques” mentioned in the passage.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five11.What is the best title for the textA. The Tricks That Keep You Glued to Your Phone.B. Can People Break Their Addition to GamesC. Could Technology Further Improve PhonesD. The Social Media Apps That Waste Your Time.For more than 140 years, fishers in Laguna, Brazil have formed an unusual partnership with local dolphins. As soon as the fishers spot a dolphin waving its tail, lifting its head, and diving deeply, they race into the water with their nets. Now, a new study suggests thedolphins are willing partners in this cooperation and that the animals may be guiding the people. They pay close attention to the humans, timing their actions to maximize their catch. Over the years, dolphins have bee n showing the fishers “where to stand and when to get ready to throw their nets” in the dark waters. It’s almost as if the dolphins are training the humans.As much as the fishers were watching the dolphins, the dolphins were also watching the fishers, the study found. Both species must time their actions correctly to catch fish. The people wait with their nets at the ready for a dolphin to approach closely. When a dolphin sees a ready fisher, the animal will give a tip, usually that deep dive, which tells the fisher the mullet (鲻鱼) are right there and it’s time to cast their net. Sometimes, either dolphin or fisher will respond incorrectly, and neither catches fish. Yet, the scientists reported that of nearly 3,000 recorded fishing attempts, nearly 46% were successful. To ensure this accuracy, fishers must understand the dolphins’ tips, learning them over time. Even it can say, “The dolphins are almost like teachers.”Other populations of dolphins have also been known to cooperate with human fishers, rushing fish toward shore or into nets off eastern Australia, Mauritania, and Southeast Asia. But these practices have either disappeared or are in decline.The same fate likely faces the Laguna dolphins if the mullet numbers, which have dropped over the past decade because of overfishing, continue to decline. The practice may escape such a fate, if Brazil regards this dolphin-fisher relationship a cultural heritage, as the scientists propose. “Without mullet,” the expert says, “this partnership will end.”12.How do the dolphins guide the fishers to catch the fishA. They constantly attack fish.B. They use body languages.C. They make strange voices.D. They pull the nets.13.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.B. Provide suggestions for the readers.C. Share some interesting facts about dolphins.D. Conclude the previous paragraphs.14.What can we learn about the dolphin-fisher relationship in LagunaA. It has completely disappeared.B. It develops friendly.C. It needs to be protected.D. It becomes useless and meaningless. 15.In which column of the newspaper can we read the passageA. Art.B. Health.C. Sports.D. Animals.二、七选五16.Do you know how to be a proud traveller ①_________Travellers get excited and a bit nervous before travel.

We reflect on our past mistakes and make up our minds not to do them again. ___13___ (give) up smoking is ever popular, as is a promise to take up more exercise or spend more time with family.什么从句?But have you ever wondered when the idea of a New Year’s resolution comes from? The answer might lie in ancient Babylonia, according to History. com. The Babylonians ___14___ (believe) to be the first to hold recorded celebrations for the New Year. The 12 day-long celebration, ___15___ (name) Akitu, allowed them not only ___16___ (show) their loyalty to the King, but also to appeal to the gods to pay their debts and return the borrowed objects.The ancient Romans too had similar traditions. New Year’s Day was a time ___17___ all government officers would take an oath(发誓) that they ___18___ obey the laws and support the city leader. Incidentally, (顺便提一句) the month of January is named after the Roman god Janus. He is the god of beginnings, transitions and time, among other things and is described as having twofaces---one looking to the past and ___19___ facing forward to the future.Whether you’re looking at a quick behavioral change ___20___ a huge personality checkup, you’re taking part in a tradition that goes back centuries.

When I asked them how they decided what they wore that day, there was a(n) ___23___ moment of silence. It seemed a ___24___ silly question. A few just said “they wore what they wore.” This was a perfect beginning as it was the same kind of response they were giving as to how they were getting their math answers. I told them how I decided what I wore that day.First I checked the weather in the paper and by looking outside. I had to decide between wearing a dress or skirt since either could make a difference in the ___25___ I wish to give. Most of the girls relate d to(和…有关) this one.

Are you saying that the person has fast recall or that he or she ___31___ information quickly? Or maybe you just mean that the person remembers a lot about her or his childhood. The truth is that it is ___32___ to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for decades say they are still trying to ___33___ exactly what it is. But we do know that a particular memory is not just one thing stored somewhere in the brain. ___34___ , a memory is made up of bits and pieces(零碎东西) of information stored all over the brain. Perhaps the best way to ___35___ memory is to say that it is a process---a process of recording, storing, and getting back information. Practice and repetition can help to ___36___ the pieces that make up our memory of that information.Memory can be negatively affected by a number of things. ___37___ nutrition can affect a person’s ability to store information. Excessive alcohol use can also ___38___ memory and cause permanent ___39___ to the brain over the long term. A vision or hearing problem may affect a person’s ability to notice certain things, thus making it ___40___ to record information in the brain.When people talk about memory, they often ___41___ both short-term memory and long-term memory. If you want to call a store or an office that you don’t call often, you look in the telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your short-term memory to remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about 30 seconds, or half a minute. ___42___ , you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number, because you already know it. This number is in your long-term memory, which ___43___ information aboutthings you have learned and experienced through the years.Why do you forget things sometimes? The major reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough ___44___. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you did not ___45___ the names at the first few seconds when you heard them.31.

Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. Others do not have many. For example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (震动). Houses fall down. Trains run off the lines. Sometimes, there is a heavy loss of human lives.Earthquakes often happen near volcanoes, but this is not always true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves, also known as seismic waves(地震波), or tsunamis(海啸) can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes. In 1906, the numbers of fires were burning in the city. The water pipes were also shaken and broken, so it was not possible to put the fire out. There was no water. The Tokyo Earthquake of 1923 happened just before noon. People were cooking meals on their fires at that time. When the ground shook, the fires shook, too. Hot materials were thrown on the different parts of the houses, some of which were made of wood. Soon 134 fires were burning in the city.What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger. The frame holds the different parts together and the walls so not easily fall. There is less chance of fire because concrete and steel do not burn. Over the years, scientists studied the results of the earthquake in different parts of the world, and they are convinced that this kind of building is the safest.46. What can we know about earthquake from the first paragraph?A. Britain has large numbers of earthquake.B. There is often a great noise during an earthquake.C. There is a heavy loss of human lives in every earthquake.D. Trains will not run off the lines during the earthquake.47. Some of the undersea earthquakes were caused by ______.A. the breakout of the volcanoB. the seismic wavesC. the tsunamiD. the powerful forces inside the earth48. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. A building with concrete walls and a steel frame stands up best in an earthquake.B. There is no chance of fire in a building with concrete walls.C. Scientist studied the causes of the earthquake to get the conclusion.D. A steel frame has no help in making the house stronger.49.

It means “distant” or “distant place.” It comes from one of the languages of native Alaskans.More than sixty sled(雪橇) teams begin the race in Anchorage. When the teams reach the outskirts(郊外) of town, they get a taste of Alaska’s wilderness. For about two weeks, they will fight the unbearable cold, wind, snow, and ice to complete the race. The temperature on the trail is often well below zero degrees. The Iditarod trail extend s for about a thousand miles. It has many rendezvous points. (汇聚点) At these meeting places, the race teams “check in” to let the officials know how they are doing. Some teams get into trouble along the way. Officials will stop them and give them the help they need. For example, officials might stop a team’s progress to give first aid, or to collect an injured or tired dog. These dogs are well cared for and will be reunite d with their owners after the race.The Iditarod trail is an important part of Alaska’s history. A part of the trail was used by some heroic dogs and humans in 1925. In Nome, Alaska, many people were catching the deadly disease Diphtheria. (白喉) So the whole town was in quarantine, or isolation, in order to stop this disease. The only way to get medicine to Nome was by dogsled. About twenty "mushers, "or dogsled drivers, offered to help. They wanted to save the people of Nome from this terrible disease.Today the Iditarod race shows honors to this special heroic journey and to all of the journeys on the famous trail. As the race organizers say, the Iditarod is “the last great race on Earth.”53. Which of the following is TRUE about the Iditarod race?A. It is held every year in the downtown streets in Anchorage.B. It usually lasts about two weeks in freezing cold weather.C. It is held to honor the gold seekers who once lived in Iditarod.D.

It was this love that led him to establish India’s first shelter home for dogs living with disabilities.It all started in 1998. While taking a midnight walk, Mahendra came across a very weak dog on the street, whose bones were visible under its skin. Mahendra decided to feed it and for the next couple of days it became the centre of his life, until the night when he found it dead.After that, Mahendra started providing treatment to all wounded and sick dogs he came across. Some time later, someone told Mahendra about PFA, India’s largest animal welfare organization, chaired by Mrs Maneka Gandhi. Mahendra contacted her and she was impressed by the work he was doing. Mrs Gandhi asked him to start a PFA chapter in Ahmedbad.Thus, in 2004, he started the shelter. It took a long time for Mehendra to find the land where the shelter could be set up. Finally, Ramesh Bhai Patel, a native farmer from a village named Jundal, agreed to give his land for nothing. Along with a team of four doctors and many volunteers, the shelter now has 25 dogs that were unable to walk at all when they were brought in. Today, they’re slowly healing. Dogs that have healed with proper treatment are sent back to where they came from if the environment there is safe. However, the shelter will be home to the blind dogs for all their lives, says Mahendra.The shelter runs on money coming from Mahendra’s own pension of Rs. 45,000.There have been some financial crunches now and then, but Mahendra has made up his mind that no matter what challenge comes their way, they’ll fight through.19.What made Mahendra decide to do something for disabled and sick dogs? A.His contact with PFA.B.The encouragement of Gandhi. C.A walk with a sick dog of Gandhi. D.The death of a homeless sick dog.20.What happened to Mahendra when he tried to build the shelter?He secured government funds.He got a land from a local farmer for free.He learned medical knowledge from doctors.He met with much difficulty in finding volunteers.21.What does the underlined word “crunches” in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Advantages. B.Crisis.C.Services. D.Details.22.Which of the following words can best describe Mahendra?A.Kind-hearted. B.Humorous.C.Open-minded. D.Modest.18.(8分)C“Italians don’t get fat” is a popular saying used to describe Italian food and lifestyle. Italians are famously devoted to their great food, yet their obesity rate is really low compared with other countries.Many studies have found that an Italian diet has numerous health benefits, from reducing therisk of cancer and heart disease to living a healthier, longer life. However, something must be getting lost in translation. Many Italian foods are everything but healthy.On a recent trip to my homeland, Italy, I decided to see for myself why the Italians don't get fat. My trips tarted where my family lives, in the northern Italy, and ended 15 days later on the Amalfi coast.It quickly became very clear that the Italians know how to really enjoy the experience of eating. They socialize and relax while dining over dinner. Before and after dinner, most people in Italy walk through town, called passeggiata. People walk together, talking and keeping alive a valued tradition.Many people in Italy aren’t regardful about calories because they usually stop eating when they are full. Italians, also lead active lifestyle, with lots of bike riding or walking, mostly in urban areas. Moreover, they usually satisfy a sweet tooth with fruits instead of sweet desserts. Italians simply balance the quality and quantity of foods. People in Italy enjoy the fat, but they don't overdo it.What I personally like the most is that the kitchen secrets are passed along from generation to generation, little children can always be found in the kitchen with their moms ——learning from them.Italians learn to eat well and just enjoy something sweet on occasion. How right they are! Because when people go on diets, they usually get depressed and gain even more weight. An Italian mealtime should be a relaxed occasion enjoyed in the great company of family or friends.Cooking at home and avoiding restaurant food are some of the reasons why Italians don’t get fat. So, always choose homemade food and try to be active after eating. If you don’t have time or don’t want to leave the house, there are many healthy exercises that you can do at home. 23.What does the author say about Italian food?A.It is healthy.B.It contains high fat.C.It helps people lose weight.D.It lowers the risks of various diseases.24.Why did the author go back home?She missed her family.She wanted to have a rest.She planned to travel in her hometown.She decided to find the secret of Italian diets.25.What does the underlined word “regardful”in Paragraph 5 mean?A.Concerned.B.Satisfied.C.Doubtful.D.Frightened.26.Why do Italians never get fat?A.They seldom eat out.B.They don’t have a sweet tooth.C.They avoid taking a passeggiata.D.They don’t like to eat the fat..19.(8分)DOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non­organic food. Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200 percent more for organic food while some people think organic food is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides (杀虫剂). This makes sure that the products are natural.Some people think “organic” means “locally grown”. At the beginning, this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren’t enough organic materials. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many largecompanies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious ? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumers believe it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems, such as cancer. Many health experts disagree. Few studies prove that organic food prevents health problems. Health experts worry more about bacteria (细菌). These can come into contact with organic and non­organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.27.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers? A.Price. B.Safety. C.Freshness. D.Variety.28.What is the doctors’ suggestion?A.Grow your own food. B.Reduce the use of pesticides.C.Make sure the food is clean. D.Buy large companies’ products. 29.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A.It tastes better. B.It is easier to grow.C.It contains more fat. D.It is cheaper.30.Where does this text probably come from?A.A health magazine. B.A medical report.C.A chemistry paper. D.A menu of a restaurant.三、完形填空(本题共计1小题,总分30分)20.(30分)What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word “hero”? Is it someone who 31 a cape (披风) and can 32 inthe air?

And, sometimes, when there are 46 , these ordinary people show courage and bravery tohelp 47 strangers in need.Being a hero is a universal attribute (属性) of human nature. The 48 to act heroically is a choice that many of us will be called upon to make atsome point in time. 49 you should strive to be your own hero.

According to the passage, the movie most probably tells a_____________story.A. funnyB. sadC.terrible D. trueBIt was a Wednesday afternoon when my assistant came into my office. She said that one of our customers had been waiting on the phone for a while to talk with me.I picked up the phone and the gentleman on the end of thephone said, “My name is Pat and I love your products, butthat’s not why I’m calling. I’m calling because I just finished a book by VJ Smith titled: The Richest Man in Town.” He the n said, “ Mac, you’ve got to read this book, I guarantee (保证) you that you’re not going to like it… you’re going to love it.”A few days later I bought this book. I closed my office door and read it, not-stop. When I finished, I just sat therewith tears r unning down my face. Pat “nailed it” (I)didn’t like it. I loved it!I then picked up the phone to call the author, VJ Smith. Ijust wanted to thank him for writing such a good book. VJ, who had self-published the book, then said, “You’re not going to believe this, Mac, but just recently, I told my wifethat someday I’d like to work with a company like yours whocould take my book to the rest of the world.”I believe that some things are meant to be. The Richest Man in Town is a wonderful book. It’s a true story that willgrab your heart and not let it go!25. Pat called Mac in order to _____________.A. ask for a jobB. sell a bookC. tell about a bookD. complain about a book26. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 is closest inmeaning to “____________”.A. Pat lied to itB. Pat felt sorry about itC. Pat was rightD. Pat disagree with it27. What can we know from the text?A. Pat knew VJ Smith a long time ago.B. Mac was moved by VJ Smith’s book.C. VJ Smith ever worked in Mac’s company.D. The Richest Man in Town was sold by Mac’s company.28. From the passage, we can infer that the author is most probably a (n) _____________.A. owner of book companyB. assistant in a book companyC. rich manD. typewriterCI travel a lot. I always try to find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get tothe post office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because moststreets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names.For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel andgo past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are notusually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no town or buildingswithin miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then goanother mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure (衡量) distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually givean answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!29. When a tourist asks a Japanese the way to a certain place,he usually _____________.A. describes the place carefullyB. shows him a map of the placeC. tells him the names of the streetsD. refers to some landmarks30. What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. Los Angeles.B. New York.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.31. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _____________.A. in order to save timeB. in order toplay jokesC. to be politeD. for fun32. What can we infer from the text?A. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the wayproperly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are always friendly to visitors.DChoosing a roommate is not always as easy as it’s expected to be.When I left for college, I was forced to live with a totalstranger for the first time —I’m the only child in my family.
